    Hi ​@Jitendra Ramchandani,

    Thanks for reaching out to us! We’re here to help and have already flagged this issue to our internal team. I also checked ​@Diogo Costa ‘s case with our support team, and it appears related to a bug our engineers are currently investigating. Some customers have reported performance issues after upgrading their MacBooks to Tahoe, and our engineering team is actively working on it.

    In the meantime could you try disabling an experimental flag in Chrome/Chromium browsers (Experimental prediction for scroll events) and check if this helps? 
    Here’s how:

    1. Open chrome://flags in your browser.

    2. Search for “Experimental prediction for scroll events.”

    3. Set it to Disabled, then relaunch the browser.

    Let us know if this helps improve performance. If not, I’d also recommend submitting directly a bug report here so our technical quality team can take a closer look at your specific case here: Submit a bug report. Thank you!
